Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIII

[volfaninpa]

His source is Butch. His source just got fired.

Fair enough.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Well, what did Kippy say?

Dang it. I don't know

 

[chavisut]

Top 10-15 job.

If Finebaum said we were close to Miss. State then he was trolling hard.

 

[Orange Studs]

I feel its getting Frosty in Knoxville.

 

[BruinVol]

Simonton says on 104.5 recruiting will be issue for Gruden and doesn't think he takes job. Mullen followed by Morris after him.

 

[UTProf]

Tennessee fans wanting Lane Kiffin to coach at UT again is baffling to me. smh

They ate up the false bravado Kiffin had and have completely forgotten that it was a lackluster season where that bravado got LK embarrassed.

 

[HankHill]

Hank I could be wrong here but I sense you might be coming around on the Gruden front?

Not really but i do know that Currie isn’t messing around with this hire.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Finebaum killing us. Calling us an average job, debating if its a better job than MSU. Get outta here with that crap.

Prove them wrong Currie!

This is a top 12 job in college football if not better.

He’s knows it’s beter than that. He’s just trolling as usual.

 

[HankHill]

If Mullen is our #2 behind Gruden i am fine with that but i would like for us to at least give Jimbo and bob stoops a call first.

 

[Rishvol]

Dang it. I don't know

Reasons bass isn't a reporter

Gruden may have issues as a college coach, but to say that recruiting will be an issue for him is idiotic.

I'm good with going after NFL coaches before them

Truth. I just yelled “HES COMING!” As soon as my dad told me that and I didn’t follow up 😂

When you posted that I thought you were just being you.

I think Marrone would be an excellent consolation prize if we don't get Gruden

 

[BruinVol]

Gruden may have issues as a college coach, but to say that recruiting will be an issue for him is idiotic.

He was saying he has been quoted saying he couldn't follow the rules. Saying it's a reason he won't take the job

 

[rocktopper16]

Its the same as last time. Gruden ismr coming but we will have a big time hire.

 

[BigZiti09]

Yeah I took that more as Gruden shooting the breeze than anything else.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Just a gut feeling, with a little info, but here we go:

Gruden has not accepted the job. He is vetting staff members to be able 5o have a better understanding of whether or not he would be able to do the job effectively. Currie is pushing for an answer either way. We could get it this week.

Florida is going to hire Frost. I understand Chip Kelly's name is circulating there right now but I'm not buying it. He's waiting for a job with less pressure but with comparable pay.

Tennessee will try to reach an agreement with Mullen quickly if Gruden turns us down. They will be willing to pay well over market value to do so. If he declines, they will go to Chad Morris (or a mystery candidate that comes out of nowhere like Kacy Rodgers).

After thinking about it, I don't buy Taggart as a realistic candidate. We may get to him in the search eventually, but I don't see Tennessee giving him a big enough raise to entice him to come to this rebuilding situation over the Oregon job he's currently got a year's worth of work in.

Nothing bad.
